Save the dates+Invites

My colors are black and ivory with red and orange floral arrangements at our wedding to liven things up. I have a dillema, though. The only save the dates I've found that I like don't match my invites! Do they have to match? All the best ones are colorful and funky and I love them. This is the one I love the most http://www.invitationconsultants.com/invitation.aspx?p_invitationitem=CCNYN9139SD69
I think it's super cute but it doesn't match AT ALL. Help!

I don't think they need to match, but they should be a similar level of formality... if that makes sense.  Those are incredibly cute STD's, though.

I agree with Kiki.  They only need to match on the level of formality.

Those are very cute.

If you love them that much, just get them. I don't think everything has to match.

Our save the dates didn't match our invitations.  I hadn't even decided on an invite design when we sent our STDs out 9 months before the wedding.  I don't think they have to match.

Ours didn't match either. I found a STD design I liked and decided to go with it. I honestly think most people won't remember the STDs by the time they get the invite.

I think those are really cute, and I'd go for them even if they didn't match. Mine matched only in color, but pink is pretty easy to match.

Thanks ladies. I'm only concerned because our invites are black and ivory damask, very vintage and I'm not sure if the pink circus-y STD's are going to clash. But I think apple is right, who will even remember them by the time they get the invite

I always figured that STDs are inherently informal compared to invitations- more like a 'just so you know' card.  I wouldn't even notice if they didn't match or have anything in common if someone sent them to me. 

We used our engagement pics on our STDs with text over them.
